Yes, Joe, what seems like the love of one's life at 16, may not be at all and, in fact, rarely is.
Basketballdude3, love at 16 is incredibly special, and heartbreak at 16 is incredibly hard. But Joe is right. You will get over it.
Why she is contacting you, when she has met someone else, I don't know. Maybe she trusts you and feels safety with you, so doesn't want to lose that completely.
But she has to make up her mind.
Maybe, when she says that she will love you forever, she means it, but this could be interpreted in a couple of ways. The obvious one is that she wants you back & is waiting for you to agree. The other is that she will always care for you, as her first love ~ even if you are not together, because first real love does stay with you.
As I said, most people have a series of boyfriends / girlfriends before they find 'the one'. Unrequited love is very hard to deal with. Most teenagers have to cope with it at some stage. You will be fine.
